This nationally distributed spirit not only sources the majority of it's grain locally, including corn and wheat within a thirty-mile radius of the distillery, but their production facility recycles the byproducts of processing to generate renewable energy. The latter innovation means that Maker's Mark uses 15-30% less natural gas than it would without the renewable energy. Plus they currently recycle 95% of their waste with plans to have 0% waste in just three years! I'd give them three cheers!
